Oasis Church Birmingham: Talks

What does a good leader look like? This year, Oasis is exploring the life of King David - a leader in the Bible who was known as "a man after God's own heart". Ultimately, David's story is one which shows us that God is overflowing with kindness and generosity, that human frailty can’t derail his plans and his purposes, and that the one David’s life is pointing to even in his flaws and failures, the true King, Jesus, really is enough. This week, Mike explores the 'big picture' implications of David's battle with Goliath - delving into the themes in the story which represent some of the big themes across the whole sweep of the Bible. Together, he helps us to look at how this story reveals that the coming Shepherd King, Jesus, is the one we ultimately need; the one who comes to fight the ultimate battle and win for us freedom, hope, and life.
